Some Say Marsman Shares
Are a Conspicuous Draw

Investors hunting for the great Asian consumption stock should put Philippine distribution concern Marsman & Co. in their cross hairs, many analysts say.

For fund managers, the company hardly counts as big game. Even after a January secondary offering of 140 million shares lifted the portion of Marsman's stock held by the public to 49% from 3%, some analysts say the issue remains illiquid. Many brokerage houses still don't cover the company.
